Customization options need improvement but valuable threat management features and reasonable pricing benefit service providers
We are a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP), and we provide services to our customers Seceon Open Threat Management Platform offers valuable features such as XDR and EDR. I also find the SOC and SOAR features valuable. Log management is another key functionality of the product. There are…

Helps to monitor and detect cyberattacks
The tool's effectiveness depends on how you define your log sources. To build visibility of incoming and outgoing traffic, you need logs from perimeter defense, firewalls, web application firewalls, and endpoint protection. With good traffic visibility, incident response time is really quick. Trellix ESM provides situation awareness. On the dashboard, I can see outbound and inbound communications to known threat hosts, IPS/IDS activity, and threat intelligence of the perimeter defense in the firewall. This information helps preempt attacks.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"You can use different solutions in a single platform which is very easy and attractive for customers."
"The algorithm used in Seceon OTM is clear and logical, categorizing events as needed. This helps us identify and respond to threats effectively."
"The solution is stable."
"It offers a holistic approach with multiple solutions blended into one platform."
"We only recently started using Seceon, so we aren't taking advantage of all its features yet. We have enabled some proactive alerts about utilization and bottlenecks from high traffic."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is its artificial intelligence."
"I like that it's an AI-based platform. The most valuable feature is that it's a comprehensive solution. Most tools in the marketplace are comprised of miscellaneous items. They fail to provide real-time remediation features. However, with Seceon Open Threat Management Platform, anything you can think of in cybersecurity, like auto-remediation, real-time response, and even on-premise components, is available in a single platform. So, it's perfect for finance and healthcare who don't want to share their data with a third party like the cloud. You can have this on-premise as well. So, the expenditure will be lower as less human intervention is required."
"The pricing of Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is very reasonable."
"It enables us to detect malicious threats, issues, or vulnerabilities in our network."
"We are now able to completely monitor our environment so we can review what is there, which is a big win for us."
"Scalability is quite easier with Trellix ESM, because all we need to do is add more receivers to it, so it can go to any point."
"The ease of use is the most valuable feature. Over the years I have always been using this solution and have become comfortable with it."
"It has performed well and delivered the results that I have been looking for."
"The solution's technical support is great."
"Trellix ESM utilizes fewer human resources and improves security and visibility."
"It is user-friendly. The notification part of McAfee ESM is very easy."
 

Cons

"The management console could use some enhancements."
"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform sells some add-ons as part of the whole suite but not individually. If they sold them individually, they could potentially attract more business."
"We are at the client’s end, offering services. They don’t know about security rules and benchmarks. We are working on the discovery and remediation but we don’t really have the intelligence that was available while working with other tools. Human working is also very essential for the solution. The automatic session is impossible to play since it needs to touch Redfin for further analysis. No one has breached our clients."
"For future releases, integrating incident response tools and improving communication on incident reporting could be beneficial."
"Certain features, such as DLP, need to be improved as they are superficial and not in-depth."
"The SOP they provided wasn't great. They offered training over Sherp Virtualization, and the Seceon leadership visited our location to explain everything in detail, but the documentation and training could be better. It isn't as effective as it could be. There's some room for improvement there."
"It is a standalone solution now. They need to make it into a cloud-based subscription model. It needs more compatibility for co-managed solutions. It can also have more threats and deeper integration with Microsoft."
"It would be better if they offered global coverage."
"The initial setup is difficult and could improve."
"The user interface could be more user-friendly."
"The product is mature and needs little improvement, but we could enhance the customized dashboarding based on use cases."
"Tech support is required each time there is a system update of the solution."
"It seems McAfee does test its product before releasing. When we - not only us, other companies also - deploy McAfee, we face multiple issues from the customer side, after which, McAfee reacts and fixes the bugs."
"The product’s alert response feature needs improvement. It could be more flexible and secure."
"The disk space needed for events is not clear. In all clients, we had at least more than 100GB free that we could not use."
"The solution needs to improve case management. The UI is confusing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Seceon Open Threat Management Platform is cost-effective because it's a comprehensive platform that offers high availability."
"We used the solution's trial version for two months and later purchased it."
"The solution is cheap and very competitive. It offers good tuning in terms of the pricing. Other solutions like Palo Alto and IBM are more expensive."
"It has a per-asset model instead of an ingestion-based model, which gives predictable pricing. In terms of price, it is in the middle to lower range of SIEMs that it competes against. It is the most affordable solution that we have implemented so far. It was much more affordable than anything else I've implemented."
"I find Seceon OTM's pricing to be reasonable, not too high or low, just okay for the market standards. I can't disclose specific figures, we pay on a quarterly basis under a service model. I would rate it eight out of ten. As a customer, I always hope for better pricing options."
"The pricing is very competitive. It's not expensive."
"The price is quite reasonable."
"The price of McAfee ESM is higher than some of the other solutions. There are additional features that can be added at an additional fee."
"The product is slightly expensive."
"The price is good. It's moderate. We follow a pay-as-you-go model. There are different models available, and they can also be monthly. You can choose monthly or yearly. It's very flexible. If our existing customers exceed the current plan, you can just call McAfee and get it extended."
"The cost is dependent on the customer's environment and requirements."
"It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license."
"We pay for our licensing fees on a yearly basis, and there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"We renew our license annually."
"The pricing is fair."
